Earthsea Christmas Feast 2015

24th December 2015

Tuesday 22nd December brought the Annual Christmas Feast Day to Earthsea House, with this years theme being that of Enchantment and Fairytale. After hours and hours of preparation carried out by the adults behind the scenes prior to the day and the theme kept a mystery from the children, it was time for the magic to all come together. The children headed out to spend the day with their linkworkers, enjoying a buffet breakfast, a trip to the cinema and some fun ice skating, leaving the rest of the staff team to transform the house ready for their return in the afternoon. The hallway became an Enchanted Forest, complete with toadstools, fairies and a smoke machine, in which the children eagerly waited in their costumes ahead of entering the main event in the playroom. The playroom itself saw a mix of traditional fairytales represented on the four walls – Peter Pan, Snow White, Hansel and Gretal, and Jack and the Beanstalk Through painted scenery and props, a sky lit sky and elaborately decorated tables, the effect in the room was stunning. Adults and children alike enjoyed a marvellous feast of food before playing party games and singing Christmas Carols. The day was finished off with the traditional Secret Santa present exchange before everyone settled to watching Christmas DVD’s whilst the house was restored to it’s normal décor, with some extra Christmas decorations thrown in for good measure. A truly wonderful day was had by all and the Christmas Feast Day remains one of the most treasured and enjoyed days of the Earthsea calendar for all involved.
